§SCULPTURE IN ISTRIAN STONE DEPICTING THE MUSE MELPOMENE., 17th / 18th century
h cm 120
The figure is depicted standing, draped in rich and heavy folds that enhance its solemnity.
The distinctive iconographic element is the large tragic mask held with both hands at the level of the lap. The facial features of the Muse, turned sideways with a severe and melancholic expression, perfectly reflect the character of the theatrical genre over which she presides.
